April Video A Day: Merlefest Hillside Album Hour

Today’s clip is from last year’s Merlefest, a four day festival in North Carolina that gathers an impressive lineup of blues, bluegrass, country, rock, and roots music artists every year–last year was the 25th anniversary. This Hendrix cover featuring the all-star likes of Sam Bush, Jim Lauderdale, and host band The Waybacks, is part of the yearly Album Hour set where the Waybacks and special guests perform a classic LP in its entirety…looking forward to finding out in a couple weeks what this year’s album choice is. Merlefest 2013 happens April 25-28.
